This week’s View focuses on the coronavirus disease 2019 resources on ACC.org, including articles about whether mass vaccination for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is associated with a reduction in hospitalizations for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), how patients presented with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and thrombocytopenia following receipt of the Ad26.COV2.S COVID-19 vaccine, and how the SARS-CoV-2 infection rate in health care workers with previous exposure to SARS-CoV-2 compares to the infection rate in nonexposed health care workers.

This week’s View focuses on the coronavirus disease 2019 resources on ACC.org, including articles about the case characteristics for individuals who have clinically recovered from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection but continued to have positive test results following discontinuation of isolation precautions and the prevalence and clinical implications of SARS-CoV-2 cardiac involvement in young competitive athletes.

This week’s View discusses adverse events that have occurred after receipt of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 vaccination and offers key points from the 2020 European Society of Cardiology guidelines for the management of non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes and a Scientific Statement from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association on perioperative neurological evaluation and management to lower the risk of acute stroke in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.

In this episode, Kim Eagle, MD, MACC, asks Matthew Martinez, MD, FACC, and Steve Ommen, MD, FACC, all of the questions you wish you could ask about hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and the new ACC guidelines. 

In this week's View, guest host Deepak Bhatt, MD, MPH, FACC, discusses trends in in-hospital mortality among patients who tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, the incidence of cardiovascular disease, death, or heart failure among patients with human immunodeficiency virus and hypertension, and recent updates from the DAPA-CKD and EMPEROR-Reduced trials.

In this week's View, guest host Deepak Bhatt, MD, MPH, FACC, offers key points to remember from a American Heart Association Scientific Statement on adverse pregnancy outcomes and cardiovascular disease risk and summarizes articles on the effectiveness of the Oxford/AstraZeneca ChAdOx1 vaccine against the B.1.1.7 variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and the clinical benefit of low-dose colchicine when added to guideline-based treatment in patients with recent myocardial infarction or chronic coronary disease.

This week's View summarizes articles focusing on prevention: whether low levels of lipoprotein(a) and corresponding lipoprotein(a) genotypes are associated with major disease groups, the relative incidence and mortality risk for cardiovascular diseases among people with different types of diets using data from the UK Biobank, and the association between alcohol consumption, biomarkers, and incident atrial fibrillation across the spectrum of alcohol intake in European cohorts.

This week's View focuses on the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) resources on ACC.org, including key points from the American College of Physicians on the antibody response and role in conferring natural immunity after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and summaries of articles on whether ABO and rhesus blood groups are associated with risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe COVID-19 and the characteristics, diagnostics, and outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke and COVID-19 in the United States.
